Contributed User-Extensions

This page intends to be a repository for selenium extensions that may be useful to the community.

For each proposed extension, please provide

• on this page
  • a name (as a h4 title)
  • a short description
  • a more... link pointing to the dedicated page (see below)
• on a dedicated child page, following section (using h3 titles)
  • description
  • example of use
  • notes (optional)
  • license : we recommend either the Apache License 2.0 or public domain
  • download : a link to a zip archive which is attached to the page. It contains :
    • a file named user-extensions.js.<extension_name> containing the code to include in user-extensions.js
    • html tests that can be placed under selenium_ROOT/tests and added to testSuite in order to test the extension
    • it is better if those files are contained in a directory with the name of your extension.

If you correct a bug in an extension update the package.

If you change some behaviour to a new one you should post it as a new version for this extension. (adding a note and a link to your archive)

Feel free to add a new category.
